The MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL) convenes members from the MIT CTL Supply Chain Exchange for the Annual Partner Meeting. The Annual Partner Meeting provides the representatives from our 50+ Supply Chain Exchange member companies with updates on the latest research and development activities at MIT CTL. We use this time together to solicit input from members on future plans for the Center.

Please use your work email address to register. This allows us to verify your Exchange membership.

A brief update about our upcoming Annual Partner Meeting next Wednesday. It is scheduled from 8:00 am – 11:30 am (virtual); for in-person visitors, we will remain for lunch from 11:30 am – 12:00 pm.

Based on all that is going on in our world of supply chain, we’ve made a late change in our plans for the morning. In particular, after introductions and providing a brief update on the Supply Chain Exchange, we will have a discussion about the shortages that are currently plaguing most companies today. We’ll start with a brief kickoff by Prof. Yossi Sheffi, reflecting on some recent work on vaccine distribution and COVID impacts. We’ll use the time to solicit your thoughts and input on the topic. See agenda below. 

To help us prep for the session and discussion, please send a note to Katie Date datecl@mit.edu and/or Jim Rice jrice@mit.edu with issues and questions that you think we should address in the session

As we bring back in-person events at MIT, we want you to know that we will be taking COVID precautions to provide a safe environment for our guests. MIT requires vaccinations, weekly testing, and wearing of masks indoors for its community. We will have masks available for all conference attendees, and we will be practicing social distancing protocols. We encourage you to register at your earliest convenience as capacity will be limited.
